The God who created the universe, and each one of us, is Sovereign and Ruler over all. He lovingly provides us with health, talents, gifts and opportunities and He justly commands us all to fear, worship and obey Him. He will judge everyone. He will punish the wicked and reward the faithful. An eternal hell awaits the unrepentant. A glorious heaven is promised to all who truly repent of their sins, trust Christ alone for their salvation, and follow the Bible’s teachings in obedience. Have you always loved the Lord your God with all your heart, soul, mind and strength? Have you always loved your neighbour and done unto others what you would have them to unto you? Have you ever told a lie? Have you ever taken something that did not belong to you? Have you ever looked with lust or been envious of others? If so you have broken the Law of God and deserve eternal judgment.

“But the cowardly, unbelieving, abominable, murderers, sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters and all liars shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death.” Revelation 21:8

The heart of the Gospel is: A Changed life in Christ. But each one of us must make a choice.

God will change our lives, and our eternal destinies – we must choose to trust and obey Christ. Jesus said: “Blessed are those who hear the Word of God and obey it!” Luke 11:28 We have heard the Word of God – are we obeying it?

The first time He came…Jesus came as a Saviour – All who turn from sin and trust in Christ, following Him in obedience, are saved. But, Jesus will come again….this time as a Judge. All who have not repented and obeyed His Law will be condemned and eternally punished in hell. We have a choice – to surrender to Christ as our Saviour now, or to face Him one day as our Judge. Is Jesus your Saviour? Or your Judge?

Where will you spend eternity?

“God commands all men everywhere to repent.” Acts 17:30

“Repent therefore and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, so that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord.” Acts 3:19

“For Christ also suffered once for sins, the Just for the unjust, that He might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh but made alive by the Spirit.” 1 Peter 3:18

Jesus

He became like us – that we might become like Him. He was rejected – that we might be accepted. He was condemned – that we might be forgiven. He was punished – that we might be pardoned. He suffered – that we might be strengthened. He was whipped – that we might be healed. He was hated – that we might be loved. He was crucified – that we might be justified. He was tortured – that we might be comforted. He died – that we might live. He went to hell – that we might go to heaven. He endured what we deserve – that we might enjoy what only He deserves.
